For younger children and adolescents who may need more intensive psychiatric assessment and treatment (beyond counseling alone), this service offers full-spectrum psychiatric care: from evaluation to diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.
Includes:
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and developmental / psychosocial history review.
- Diagnostic assessment, including use of standardized criteria (e.g. DSM-ICD codes), to identify conditions such as ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, behavioral issues, neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Medication management when clinically indicated — prescribed carefully, combined with therapy as needed.
- Ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans, tracking progress, and regular follow-up. A robust treatment plan outlines patient history, diagnosis, treatment strategy, and measurable goals.
- Psychoeducation and parental guidance: working with families to understand diagnoses, treatment, behavior strategies, and how to optimize home/school environment for child’s success.
- Coordination of care with schools, pediatricians, or other providers as needed — ensuring a holistic, integrated approach.
This service is ideal for children and adolescents with conditions requiring more than talk therapy alone — especially when medication, careful diagnosis, or close monitoring is needed.
